A fledgling Ecuadorian Thrush begs for some banana as its parent prepares itself to feed the begging chick. The Ecuadorian Thrush is mostly endemic to Ecuador although its range extends slightly into Peru. It is closely related to the American Robin. Unlike the Robin, it is a relatively drab bird with no brightly colored feathers like its cousin. It was, however, quite entertaining to watch how the adult reacted to the chick’s demands. In this image, it almost appears to be deciding whether to give the banana to the chick.
